This is a 5.0mm diameter, plano-convex lens with a focal length of 15.0mm, specifically designed for use with a wavelength of 1064nm. The lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor known for their high-quality optical components.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The plano-convex geometry, where one side is flat and the other is curved, makes it suitable for a variety of applications, particularly where a collimated beam is required.
The lens has a center thickness of 1.6mm and an edge thickness of 1.19mm, providing a good balance between optical performance and mechanical strength. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with Edmund Optics' Las V-Coat 1064, a specialized coating designed to enhance the lens' performance in laser applications at the specified wavelength.
The coating not only improves the lens' transmission but also reduces reflection, thereby increasing the efficiency of the system. The inner and outer radii of the lens are 0mm, indicating a sharp curvature that contributes to the lens' focusing power.
